RobotProtos specialises in the design and manufacturing of intelligent robots.

Combining mechanical, electronics and software engineering to build robots that power the future of business.

Engineering services

From turn-key robots to design assistance or production risk analysis, we help our clients achieve their goals.

Machine Learning

Machine learnig opens up a new world of possibilities, data can be understood and used like never before. We use Neural Networking, Natural Language Processing, Genetic Algorithms and custom intelligent systems to achieve a wide range of tasks. From automating business processes to autonomous robots.

Besides solutions based on industry standard platforms we also deliver fully in-house developed solutions.

Robotics

We design and build production ready robot prototypes, specialty one-off designs and can provide any service related to designing autonomous robots.

Use cases

Autonomously maintain solar panels in locations were human access is dangerous or expensive

Clean building windows more efficiently and safely

Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)

Significant improvements to deployment time and flexibility of robots are made possible by having a robot self-discover it's working enviroment.

The SLAM technology we offer is field tested on multiple robots and actively used in production.

Robotics and software products

We provide several hardware and software products related to robotics and machine learning.

Efficient 850W stepper motor controller

Easy to use and fully integrated stepper controller for bipolar motors up to 85V and 10A.

Custom sensor modules

Sensor modules for rapid prototyping and functional analysis. PCB modules with one specific sensor or functionality are great time savers for both building proof-of-concept robots, diagnosing interations or analysing functionality.

We design and produce our own modules for sensor that are not otherwise available in module format. Custom modules we can design and build for a very competitive price.

Current modules

ST VL53L1x gesture and distance sensor

Networking stack for IOT and low power robotics

A complete peer to peer networking stack for microcontrollers, offering the following high-level functionality:
